New Ubuntu eats more power than Windows 7 - The Inquirer


Description

T61Fortunately for Ubuntu the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 power consumption difference between Windows and Ubuntu Linux was not nearly as large as that of the Atom 330 plus Ion-based netbook. The ThinkPad T61 with Ubuntu consumed 14 per cent more power than Windows 7, but when both were loaded with Nvidia's binary driver that uses Powermizer and other power-savings techniques, Ubuntu consumed just nine per cent more power on average.
